When to Burn the Bridges
Confession. I’m a burn the bridges kinda guy. It’s how I’m wired. However, after a few years here on earth, I’ve learned to temper my burning desires in some situations.
When to Burn Away
Burning sometimes needs to happen when you are dealing with people. Friends, oftentimes family, sometimes spouses need to be burnt outta your life for you to move ahead. Typically these are interpersonal relationships. If they are:
- Needy
- Negative
- Untrustworthy
- Progressive
- Judgmental/Critical of everything
- Drunkard
- Busybody
- Users
Oh, this list can go on forever … basically, if they are dragging you down instead of building you up = burn ’em. Get those people out of your life. If you can’t trust them in battle to have your back, eventually they will hurt you; could be physically, but most certainly mentally. You already know who they are …
Don’t Burn – Leave the Way Intact
I have discovered that there are certain situations where you might need to distance yourself, but you don’t want to eliminate a way back.
This is primarily in the business setting.
We often burn bridges to companies as if the people working there are the company themselves. In the past I’ve burnt companies because I didn’t like the person I was dealing with. Then later found that many people had not liked dealing with that person and he/she had been eliminated by the company … except now I’m on the outside because I had treated the company as if they were just that person.
Same can happen in a work setting. Your boss or coworker might be a total life suck. You definitely have to decide just how much you will take, but understand that if they are truly a sh!tty person, they will eventually be eliminated anyway. You might have to bide your time rather than burning it all down.
Caveat. Some companies are built from the ground up as ‘progressive’ … these should be burnt out of your life. They can’t change because their identity is built on the premise of hate as a founding ideology. This is different than the case of a crappy human working in a decent company. If the mission statement is written in a way that you are a target instead of a client = burn baby burn.

Finding Your People
I have never been fully accepted into the tightknit community I was born into. Once an outsider, always an outsider. This used to really bother me, especially when growing up. It was hard to understand as a teenager and left me feeling like there was actually something wrong with me. In actual fact, it was the people who’s culture and land I was parachuted into who had the issue, not me. Yes, we looked alike and spoke the same language. We would all be considered protestants too. But I was not related, I went to the wrong church and had the wrong last name. This continued into my adult years and I would often find myself on the outside peering in.
Fast forward 20 years. I no longer care. Not only that, but I am thankful that I was not assimilated.
My true friends, those who are part of my inner circle, are a loosely associated group of like minded people and families. Some are from the local community, but many are not. I consider these people ‘my people.’ What makes them so?
As I think about this, I realize that I don’t have a common heritage with many of them. I don’t even share the same Christian systems. Some live close, others up to a couple hours away. Most are younger than we are.
What draws us together?
- We all have families.
- Every one of us marches to our own beat. We are not pulled by the desire to fit in, or please others. We are the exact opposite of The Borg … we are not assimilated.
- Thinking systems. This one is harder to put into words. We all operate our lives and families in an analytical, almost regimented way. Feelings and the wishy washy decisions that come from operating on feels are just not found among us.
- Intelligence/IQ. I’m willing to bet that most of the adults are on the higher IQ end of the scale. They tend to see through organized systems and people who are draining very quickly. (Interesting … just kinda realized this one as I was writing.)
- We all homeschool.
- Most (I think all) run our own companies. A few wives and several of our kids have conventional jobs, but most have a family industry
As I think more though this group of ‘my people,’ its more like we are a loose association of city-states or mini empires. Each are running our own little country. We are not marching in lock-step with anyone. I don’t consider any of them part of my family empire nor do any of them consider me part of theirs. We share a few resources, but mostly what we share is knowledge. I learn what has worked in their empire and they in turn learn from what they see me doing. It’s symbiotic.
The drive to be a part of a whole seems to be strong in many people. Indeed, my desire to be accepted by the community I grew up in is testimony to that. There is comfort in the herd. But is it the best option for you and your family? Will the herd you choose protect you when the storm comes? Or will they all fly apart leaving the weak and vulnerable to be consumed? Counties are breaking up. The wolves who have been allowed to run wild in the herd are consuming us from within. We must resist the urge to try to hold the whole together. That experiment is done. Instead:
Build your own people = family. Associate with other likeminded families. Understand that you and yours will ultimately be your own responsibility.

Any Deal With the World is a Deal With Satan
From a Telegram Group The thing with living in a fallen world is that most every transaction you participate in requires some form of interaction with Satan or one of his minions.
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke 4:5-7
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.The Serpent in the garden offered, ‘ye shall be as gods, all you have to do is trust in me over God.’
From public schooling, to the usury that comes with a mortgage, to eating genetically modified ‘food,’ to the ‘health care’ of the death-jab … all come with some element of participation or collusion with Satan. Everything he offers today is nothing but an illusion, a forgery of what God has freely given us from the beginning.
Vox Day presents us with his thoughts on a debt jubilee. While this was certainly given to Israel as part of Gods order for them, we are so entangled with Satan’s system of the world that there is no way we can implement this without giving some portion of ourselves to Satan. The World Economic Forum is already presenting their version of the Satanic “Great Reset,” complete a one world government, wealth redistribution and equality of outcomes. All we have to do is give ourselves wholly over to Satan’s system. Count me out.
I’m not sure how to completely insulate ourselves from Satan’s system, but I do know that we can start by refusing the tickets that he offers us. If what you are being offered does not come from God, it IS coming from Satan. Learn to know him now, and reject his offers now so you’ll know how to reject him when the Anti-Christ comes with his great deception.

Move to the Country, Grow Your Own Food, Watch Babylon Burn
Wisdom from my fellow Canadians on Social Galactic As we see the system of the world falling apart … America in decline … the rise of evil and Satanic rulers, there is one piece of very good advice:
My fellow Canadian, Spectator said it best:
Move to the country, grow your own food and watch Babylon burn. Burn baby burn!
Yes … there is work involved and you will have to overcome some fear of the unknown. It won’t always go smooth, but if you take the plunge … in a couple of years, you will declare how you should have done it sooner and how much you regret staying in the system for so long. That is how we feel for sure.
One other point. Don’t fool yourself into believing you are doing the right thing by waiting for some arbitrary event or condition to come along. That is all fear talk. You will never have ‘enough’ money saved up. Your kids/wife/family will never ‘come around’ to your way of thinking. You need to just give’er. Just get it done.
Finally, you don’t need anywhere near the size that ‘they’ say you need to build a farm. I’m on 1 acre and I believe that it is enough land for me to support my 4 person family. I’m not anywhere near completely set up the way I want yet, but when I’m done, I expect to be self sufficient and off grid. My plan includes an eventual pond with ducks, a few goats (maybe next year,) and more raised beds where we currently have driveway. We’ve already got the chickens, bees, fruit trees and garden sorted out. You DON’T need a huge space! And once you are busy setting up your country life, the fact that Babylon is burning will mean nothing to you. Just do it!

As Someone Who Values Privacy …
I am pseudo-anon here on my site. The people who know me in real life, a few know who I am and where I live, but for the most part I’m anon here. It’s good to have some privacy. I know I’ve dropped enough hints here and elsewhere for anyone who cares enough, to figure out who I am and where I live. At this point I don’t pretend that I have any sort of privacy online … ‘they’ already know who I am and where to find me.
Tonight I discovered that someone I’ve followed pretty close for a long time is not completely who he says he is … and has set up a whole persona that involves creating a storyline about his life and even the country where he lives = not Italy. Wow.
At first I thought = cool! He really has this internet thing figured out. Write what you want, live your life and the vast majority of people just believe you and go along with the story. But then the darker part of my mind kicked in and I began to ask, if he has created this part of his life, what else has he created? But as I considered the matter, I came to the conclusion: really, who cares …
In the long run, it does not matter. He is doing his thing there (not Italy) and I’m doing my thing here. And while we share a few ideologies (if he and I are both being truthful about those things,) we will never have more than the equivalent of ships passing in the night contact. Good on ya sir … hats off.

No One Is Coming to Save You
For those of us who are Christians, we rest in the absolute knowledge that Jesus is coming back and will crush … absolutely crush our enemies. Until He comes, no one is coming to save you!
- Voting harder? Nope. Politicians are why we are in the trouble we are in.
- The right President? We already had that … and he did nothing for us.
- The common people will rise up? No, the common people are busy getting jabbed.
- The courts? Where were they when the election fraud happened? Where are they now that our civil liberties have been removed? You are simply a product to be controlled. The law and lawyers will not save you.
- The police … the Army, etc? Laughable. They are the jackboots that will stomp you out on behalf of the state.
No … you will have to save yourself.
- Start small if you have to, even just a few extra cans of food on your next expedition to Walmart. (This is the only reason you should be going to Walmart!)
- Read a book on gardening or on Home Health Care.
- Eat real food for a week. Nothing processed. Get used to real cooking again.
- Walk 1 mile per day for a week.
- Store some big jugs of water in a closet.
- Plan for how to stay warm this coming winter.
- Flip the main breaker in your electrical panel and leave it off for 24 hours. Observe. How did you and your family do? What went well? What needs fixing?
Think of every little thing you do to prepare yourself as building up credits in a game. When you get enough credits, you get to level up. Once you level up a couple times, you actually get good at the game and it becomes easier. That’s how it works.
Start today.

Be Like Ragnar: Legend
Ragnar Jonsson would often disappear into the woods for years at a time. In 1946, he arrived at the Brochet Trading Post to PU his mail and was amazed to discover that WW2 had happened while he was off in the woods. Legend!
I confess, there are many times over the past year that I had dreamt of heading off into the northern woods and just escaping the stain on history that is Covid19. Escape the tyranny. Escape ‘science.’ Escape the minute by minute, even second by second updates and ‘YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS’ that everyone is vacuuming up and spitting out at each other.
I found Ragnar in a book about Canoeing Manitoba. (Wilderness Rivers of Manitoba by Hap Wilson and Stephany Aykroyd.) Great book BTW. Not sure how I can just disappear for years at a time, but a few days in the woods might be a good start. Stay tuned.

Doing it Soviet Style
This is what is currently happening in Lithuania. The 80’s are calling and they want their cold War back.
Seriously, how far away from this are we here in Canada? With the vax passport becoming the only way to enter many places of commerce, and often to simply hold a job … and the underground black market for food and services developing, how long before impromptu markets start springing up in back alleys of Canadian cities?
I guess the bigger question … is this a bad thing?
What if … not having a vax passport meant that instead of supporting stupid big chain stores like Walmart and Superstore where 80% of the ‘food’ is garbage, we instead had to turn to local farmers, green grocers and back alley markets?
What if you got to know your local cow farmer and discovered that he needed baby sitting 3 days a week, or needed help with homeschooling … and you were able to help in exchange for freezer beef?
Or maybe your local farmer is offering ‘shares’ in next years crop … and you got in now future proofing your food supply.
There are a lot of positives that could come from going at it ‘Soviet style’ and they too survived the cold war just as we did.

Modern vs Quality
One of these stoves comes with a 1 year warranty and will likely require at least 1 major repair within 5 years.
The other one you could warranty for 100 yrs and not have a single claim.
